Just Obtained Another "Z"!!!!!!

[Blue Flame Restorations]

So excited I just had to post it.

Just acquired a 1995 ZR-1 with 9k miles. Purple/Blk interior. I have a 1953 customer that I've built cars for. I'm taking the 1995 ZR-1 in on labor trade for building a 1954 Corvette Motorama Fastback replica.

I built the molds for the Motorama Fastback a few years ago. I'm building the first car for a Corvette buddy and the second Fastback is for my Canada customer. He's a really great guy to deal with and a standup guy.

If everything works out right, I should have it within the next 8-10 weeks....or sooner!!

The car looks just like this 1995.

I had to find a car as nice as yours, Scott.:-D It still probably won't be as clean as your 91. Still not sure how you do it????? Crazy clean!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scottfab]

Love the color. It's the second best color.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Dark Purple is a very nice color in my opinion.

[A1990]

Congrats Brett. Always thought someday I would own a purple ZR-1. Inspired:-D

[jcruz]

Nice score, Brett! Welcome to the "2Z" club :)

[JThomas]

Congrats Brett! Sounds like another "Deal of the decade"!

I was looking at one like that two years ago, but wasn't able to close the deal. Only twenty-five in that color, and one year at that. :cheers:

I may do the NCRS thing with this one. I'll actually be able to hear the radio in this one too, unlike the Turquoise car. LOL

[RICKYRJ1]

OK, someone has to say it, YOU SUCK! 1st you stole the torquoise Z now you pick a beautiful 95 purple will the madness ever end? Great Job! Be sure to post pics when you get her :cheers:

[ZONER 95]

Nice!....and rare...just how I like my steak too....

[Paul Workman]

Oh, you got it BAAAAD Brett! Adicting, ain't it??

One to show and ONE TO GO! What more could a car guy want!??:dancing

P.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

If Tyler and I can get the EX5023 runnnig next week, it'll make three Z's that move under their own power. That's a rarity in my shop.

[Y-me]

Dude! save some for the rest of us!

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Wow, great score!!! Congrats and enjoy!! =D>

[WARP TEN]

Congrats on the Purple 95 Brett. I love my Polo Green 95 but had a purple one been available at the time I bought I would have gone for it. Special car, special color fits. Mine was a pure stock 20k mile 95 and thought about leaving it that way but.........well, who needs to hear a radio or travel with the slow traffic? -- Bob

[tomtom72]

Ya know Brett, when I was a noob here in the ZR-1 world I wanted to be like Demps when I finally grew up......now I'm adding you to that list.:mrgreen:

Damn man, you have it bad! Good luck with your new toy! That is one sweeeet ZR-1! :handshak:


:cheers:

Radios are overrated :)

Beautiful car Brett

[Daniel_Mc]

Good job Brett!!! You made a good trade IMHO. I can't wait to see EX5023, the Turquoise Monster, and the Purple Z all together.

:cheers:

Daniel

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Thanks, guys. I really consider myself still a "noob" also. I lucked into these last two cars with easy to acquire situations. I guess I stole part of Lee's horseshoe......I better give it back.

[ZZZZZR1]

Wow. That purple beast is unreal and very rare!

Nice acquisition!!!

:cheers:

David

[vilant]

Congrats. Have fun w/ your new acquisition.:cheers:

[USAFPILOT]

my wife would love the purple one

[BigJohn]

Beautiful car Brett


They have Radios??????????
:confused:

[mike100]

I would rock a purple 95 in a heartbeat- probably even go out of my way to get one as I had a purple C4 before.

not a real popular color to resell (at least for the regular coupes that are more common).

[LGAFF]

You need help!

[Blue Flame Restorations]

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Dayemn, Lee! So the original plenum will be a thing of the past? Did you get your turbos fine tuned? Wonderbar upgraded?

[LGAFF]

pick up the turbos tomorrow, no wonderbar install yet, have not decided if I need it.....Hoping 500hp+

That Plenum was to be used on a limited addition 1LE Camaro in the 90s....they stopped the program to develop the LT-1, This plenum apparently flows well even at 7K....1 of 4-5 known to exist. I bought it because it close to the 100+ intake look

[LGAFF]

Also going 2.00 and 1.56 valves

Gotta love the window sticker in Canadian $. You think these cars were expensive in the US back in '95. The Cdn $ wasn't even close to par in '95.

[Corbusa]

I really like the color!!! lucky you :)

Yea, it was $86.495!!! Crazy............

[-=Jeff=-]

You know we came to the conclusion that you actually have all 4 horseshoes and the horse the shoes are attached to with the deals YOU find

[Z51JEFF]

[JThomas]

QUESTION????????????????

Thanks

Well, it was 26 units before serial #115 which was the the Purple Metallic and black ZR-1 I was looking at, that was in Colorado two years ago and it's 63 units ahead of my Bright Aqua '95 that I ended up purchasing.

You know you're killing me with this thread! [-X

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Joe, your 95 is as sweet as they come. Gorgeous! Hope to have the 95 at BG next May.

As a matter of fact, I just made reservations at the University Plaza Holiday Inn today. Thur-Fri and Sat nights.
Can't wait to hang at Bob's Motorhome!

[scottfab]

What an amazing catch.
wow !

[tomtom72]

And Santa could fit that down the chimney????? Nice Christmas present Brett!!!! She sure is one sweet Z! =D>


Jingle Bells!
:cheers:
Tom

[JThomas]

You've got all the bases covered now Brett. Prototype, Stock, and Modified. All sweet cars!

[XfireZ51]

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Ohhh, That's an easy one............Lee! :mrgreen:

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Finally, the 95 should be here within the hour. Shipped from Vancouver Canada. Came with a NIB original ZR-1 windshield as well. The original is in good shape so I'll just hold onto this one. :dancing

Is it there yet?

Happy for you, Brett!!!

I'm living vicariously through you.:notworthy

Jep

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Of course, it's raining right now and the car got dirty. Hopefully, it will be dry tomorrow. This thing still smells new and is as tight a mouses ear.

I like it! (The wife wants to drive it. Gonna have to get her a C5 hahahahaha)

Went through all of the additional stuff. Found every piece of paperwork from when the car was bought new in Canada. Even the odds and ends delivery paper hangers and such that were on the inside of the car during dealer prep. Two owners kits complete with pens and tire pressure gages. About eight old style AC Oil Filters (no bar code), new water pump in the box and both clear and painted tops.

Looks and smells new like a time capsule. This one will be around a for a long while. I really like this one. Nice car. Couldn't find a scratch on it.

My customer in Canada described this one perfectly.

[captcorvette]

OK I have always been a bit jealous of you because you have finished many 53-54's and I have been working on mine for 20 plus years and not finished but this Z addition to your toy box just turns me a bright shade of green.

What a colour combination you have. Goofy grape is what we called this colour in Viet Nam days but it is brilliant.

Congratulations Brett. What else can be said? Nothing.

[WB9MCW]

Congrats Brett --- excellent snag for sure!

Thanks guys. I'll move pics of the new baby to the Members Rides section now.

Thanks again:fahne:
